About Gilbert Ball Rubber Compounds

The higher the model in the Gilbert Match Ball range, the higher the % of Natural Rubber used in the compound.

Natural Rubber offers higher performance for a shorter period of time – hence the "Match" function. Training Balls are made with a higher % of synthetic rubber, which performs at a lower level, but the balls last longer for repetitive throws. 

Gilbert Rugby rubber compounds are an exclusive secret and impossible to replicate
